We trust our readers Will pardon US for
the use of such strong language as EN-
plOyed in one or two places in our paper
| this week but severe cases require severe
| measures, and we cannot we'll convey the
proper meaning without speaking right
out" A lie is a lie, and you cannot con-
veniently make it out merely an eragger-
| dted reO0rt.
! TO owners of Jersey cattle: Do not let
your cows take the sun during the heated
part of the day. They should be stabbed
or tied in the shade from II to 8 o'clock.
| There is not much risk of losing them after
the first year, but it is best to be careful
with them until they get thoroughly accli-
mated. A little precautiOn i'll this matter
may save you something.

an exposition of our necessities.
The Smithlield Herald has entered upon
its sixth year 1t is a good county paper
and deserves to live to a ripe old age. One
of the neatest and best printed papers that
comes to our office, carefully and we'll
edited, the Herald is always a welcome
visitor. Mr.. F. L. Booker the editor knows
how to get up creditable paper, and he
turns his knowledge to good account.
Wilmot Wood, the jeweler and watch
maker of Henderson from "away back, y
has nice line of gold and silver watches,
jewelry, silver ware, spectacles, ETC., to
which he invites the attention of his friends
and the public generally. Everything
marked down in price to suit the stringency
of the times All kinds of repairing done
on short notice and in satisfactory manner.
The GOLD LEAF would like to see a
large Touring mill established in Hender-
SON. We have every reason to think such
an enterprise would do we'll here. This is
a good grain country and large quantities
of wheat are grown yearly. The prOduc
ton would be increased of course as the
market demand increased. What say oul
! citizens about the establishment of such al
enterprise in our midst?
The growing tobacco crop in Virginia
and North Carolina is by no means promis
ing. The acreage was greatly reduced t.
commence with, the stand is poor, and the
weed for most part sorry. The Milton Ad
rertis6r says of the outlook in that section
From what we can learn from the farm
ers the crop of tobacco planted is about 81
per cent. of full crop, and that is dom!
poorly. 1t is not growing off at all wei
and is quite backward.
A hearty union between country an(
town should be encouraged at all times
1t works good results to both. This is tn
course pursued by the business men o
Henderson. They are in full Sympath,
with the best interests of the people of tn
surrounding country, and whether it be il
paying them the highest market price 70
their produce, or selling them goods a
lowest figures, this fact stands out promi
nently.
, The StatcSville Landmarks is one of tn
, best weekly papers in the State. 1t is ais
one of the best sustained. 1t publishe
D more letters from the people-more neigl
: borhood news-than any paper we know
That is the way to encourage a paper. Sui
scribe for il, advertise in it, and write 70
its columns. Do not leave the editor alon
to do everything, and then find fault wit
him if his paper is not what you think
should be. Help him to make it such.
